ah, ah ah, this is the w news alive from berlin. i am at the mike a junior coming up the record breaking he to waive in south and you huge wildfires lease from all to go to greece. hundreds of died from the effects of the extreme heat on forecast as one of more to come. also in the program. you green braces for an escalation of attacks on all fronts. as russia audit its forces to step up the operations. and it's really got marx 100 days of dramatic protest,

people, all united ethnic groups to force out the format routing plan to look ahead to the key votes, which will decide the nation's political future. ah hello and welcome you over his experience in another some of record to break in tempe, just an office breeze in for a week of extreme heat while solving nations. i've already seen the mommy test climbing to new ice. the extreme heat has caused the death of hundreds bless. when winds have to have triggered destructive wildfire across sport to go, spain, france, italy, and greece. several firefighters have been killed firefighters in spain's extreme, the door, a region faddle, wild fires through the night. at daybreak, military,

police and aircraft joined the fight to get the situation under control. dozens of wild fires across spain have forced thousands to evacuate fire season has started earlier than usual after and especially hot and dry spring. oh no guys that get wedding done without a doubt at 40 degrees celsius, it's more difficult to extinguish the fire climate change effects. everyone in this area is usually green and cool in summer, but it's becoming very hot like cordova and seville in the south. i saw them avo coronado, my chevy. similar scenes are taking place across southern europe. strong winds are spreading several fires across the greek island of crete. in southwestern france, fire fighters have been battling blazes for days. thousands of evacuated residents can only look on. and pray that their homes are spared

and an hour from venice on northern italy's coast skies filled with smoke. after a corn field caught fire temperatures throughout southern europe have already hit the mid fourties. and wild fires aren't the only consequence. the extreme heat has led to hundreds of deaths, mostly in spain and portugal. and it's not over yet whether agencies say many european countries will have to suffer through the sweltering conditions for another week. we cannot allow here from scott duncan, a material adjust in london. hello scott. even higher temperature as i expected next week in parts of europe. why is this happening? indeed, as you've just seen, from your switches there, that we've had intense heat done in the south western parts of europe. so mainly

spain and portugal, and also north west africa with that is this is going to start lifting its way north, over this weekend and into early next week and a few factors behind it. as mentioned, also not reports been exceptionally drive to the ground is very, very dry, very easy to burn. but that's also good for transporting the heat. and then also maintaining its intensity always at places like northern france, even in places like northern england, all the way up to scotland for example, to go basically a perfect weather pattern for delivering this heat. also, the surface conditions are just primed to break those records. as we said in the higher temperature, as i expected in the coming days, are the forest fires that are happening likely to continue through summer? yeah, we do get wild fires quite regularly across the mediterranean, especially throughout summer. but we've seen in trends it increased the intensity and more kind of wide spread nature of these fires, especially in the last few decades. so yeah,

places that experience the high temperatures are more likely to dry vegetation, easier and faster to burn. it's not the heat that obviously triggers fires. and so basically when you get an issue, whether it's manmade or by natural causes, then it's something that will then burn faster and harder. and that's what we're seeing across it, not just the mediterranean, but no spinning places further north. i will be surprised if we saw more wild fires, even on the british cells, for example, talking about spread into places are the record temperatures just hits in europe or is it a world wide issue? so this is very intense. he understood for western europe is probably the most intense currently, but we've been seeing several events, right. not just this year, but last the years and for tape there would be wrecking record breaking records not by just small margins by enormous margins. and it's not a confined to just europe like last year, for example, in canada and the record breaking eat down there. we've also had intense heat in japan and the last couple of months,

which was chattering at long standing and very significant records. there's not just europe, we're seeing a lot of heat records tumble across where we are seeing cooler weather, for example. the southern hemisphere is a land media air condition at the moment. stillia has be seen, record rainfall is being quite cold. they're also new zealand, for example, but the, the main emphasis that there are far greater number of heat records falling compared to any of these little clays, cold records. and this is all part of anthropogenic climate change. so why are people finding it so difficult to cope to places like the u. k. a for example, or northern france so far away from the mediterranean. we just don't have the same infrastructure as those places that typically get well into the forty's, for example. so fortunately degree heat is not the same here, like in london, and it would be in the south of spain, like the buildings that we live in, just don't cool down. this thing are not built with the heat in mind. places down in the mediterranean are far more equipped and they built literally everything from

not i was just, but the roads, the rail, everything's infrastructure is built to withstand that he only about 0.5 percent of houses in this country, of air conditioning, which is tiny amounts of basically doesn't have access to the rest by that, we need banks without explanation. scott duncan, with her ologist in london now to the latest on the war in ukraine. moscow has stepped up at the tax in recent days. russian missiles have struck industrial facilities in the south and ship built in city of mc alive, defend as fear, russian forces are preparing the annexed offensive. most of the fighting is in the eastern region of dawn, yet square shelling along the entire front line. our next report is from puck rusk, a small city in the path of russia's advance. yet when a mother grieving the loss of her son, hello, tommy wash,

the most needy things could get worse. still, the mayor fears that a shortage of gas will make this city uninhabitable, once temperatures drop. but you will, even if the fighting stopped where they are now, and the front line does move in a movie very hard to survive. here in winter is what you will get portions for from if the russians at bon further it in full to may, a tree bush going to organize the evacuation of the city, adding to the millions of ukrainians, already displaced by the war. dw correspondent, next fi fi, and keith told us more about the situation on the ground. and they're likely next stage of the ration offensive. the defense minister of russia segregation who is said to have visited the front lines where he said that operations would accelerate . and there would be renewed offensive on all of the front across ukraine in the next region. the ukrainians have managed to push back a rushing to tend to take

a key road going to slow yann's, which is their operational headquarters. it's seen of intense artillery showing show do actually said that the purpose of the renewed offensive isn't part to stop the ukrainians from firing on ukrainian civilians, which is a bit implausible, as the ukrainian struggle to have enough ammunition to actually fight russian soldiers. however, that may be there is a continuation of shelling and rockets landing inside civilian centers up further north in hart. keith, where do you? cranium managed to repel the russians from the gates of the city. weeks ago. new new reports of miss alice landing in the city and civilian casualties down in the south of the country. the ukrainians are doing slightly better. but taking village by village and in the actual city of pear saunders and underground movement. men undertaking operations blowing up railway lines to disrupt the flow of ammunition
